The hummingbirds are starting to migrate south. I've only had a pair of hummers here all summer, but that's all changed. Hard to tell just how many are visiting my feeders but right now probably 10 or 12. Before the migration is over there should be somewhere around 50 visiting my feeders.

Thanks, LazyGhost, Stillhunter, Ree, and Honey Bee. I really enjoy the migration. Right now I have 5 feeders going. As more hummers arrive I'll add some more. It's sure something to stand out there amid them. What an uproar of humming, chirping, and squealing at one another. Early morning is a riot!

gtk, I really enjoy standing out by the feeders in the early morning. What a racket! You might even try putting a little dyed sugar water in the palm of your hand and holding it out to the hummers. I have some little tube feeders that I hold out to them. At first they are reluctant to feed from it. Soon they will be lining up to get at it. I've had two at a time with their bill in that little hole in the feeder while I was holding the feeder out to them.

Ut-Oh Looks like the fun is over for now. Almost all the the hummers have gone on south. My sister called me yesterday to ask if I had any hummers. She said hers were all gone. I think I only have 3 or 4 coming to the feeders this morning. That's way down from the 40 or 50 I estimated coming to the feeders Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. As I remember the hummers all left early last year. We had a very cold winter too....Got down to 15° one night and it snowed three times!
